The Saga of Swamp Thing #10

The February 1983 installment of The Saga of the Swamp Thing delivers a genuinely striking cover by Tom Yeates: the mossy, powerful form of Swamp Thing erupts from a yellow brick wall, his vine-like tendrils snaring two figures — a woman in red and a blond man in jeans and a white shirt — and suspending them helplessly against the crumbling surface. It's a visceral image that captures the character's raw, elemental force without a word of explanation needed. With Martin Pasko scripting and "Number of the Beast" as the story title, this issue promises dark, atmospheric storytelling from one of DC's most compelling early-'80s series.
